Robert Benoit - Doug's Favourite

[MrTallfiddle]

What a great tune [well played]. I play it myself [on the fiddle] courtesy of Kenny Robia who gave me a kitchen tape of his dad [Cyril] quite a few years ago [awesome fiddle player]..

[harmonairbass]

I gotta say! This is an awesome tune. I'm attempting to learn it on my ( brand new Breedlove American Series FF Lefty ) mandolin. I like the rather long turn around, and the fast pace To put it another way, it keeps me busy. ha ha Great job Robert and thanks for the inspiration.

[NanaDots]

WOW!!! JUST LOVE IT

[Noelegy]

Happy music. Thank you!

Man I would so like to have just a small helping of your musical talent.

Great stuff!

[Gailstar1]

I absolutely love this one! It reminds of the trips to Newfoundland with my family, and being in the kitchen with with the whole gang, I may have been young back then, but it made a mark forever in my soul...keep it coming! If you were not sure who I am, I am Gean Gaudets youngest :O)

Robert........I am a Simon from Cape St. George and have many relatives that are Benoits. I have an old cassette by Mattis Benoit and a Robert Benoit. I am wondering if you are familiar with it and now these two awesome players? Robert is on guitar and Mattis is on accordion. The name of the album is ATLANTIC ACCORDION.It is a very good album.From the early seventies,maybe late sixties.

Great tune ! On the South coast of Newfoundland, we call it Gus's Favourite. It's always someones favourite. We also call a version of it, " Stuck in the slob".

Good job Robert !

[GrandBankerinNS]

You are a wicked according player.....You must be from St. Georges or the Cape in Western Nfld.....

No I am from West Bay Centre

[mike1409040]

I do believe it's also called the "Flowers Of Edenburg"..or something like that

[SonOfLabrador]

Hey Mike,

A little correction - Flowers Of Edinburgh is another tune, trad. Scottish. This one in the video is called "Gus's Jig", "Gus's Favourite" or "Gus LeCoure's Jig". :)

[bulbheadmyass]

Wow, you are taented. Are there any instruments you don't play?

[Doctoall]

Robert: We need that CD so that we can listen as we drive and hang out at home.

[larafox66]

this is great! it reminds me somehow to my hometown, Hamburg.... maybe because it´s a Hohner...?

thank you!
